Well I just found this site last night.

I'm a dad who plays D and D with his sons ... this is a great place for ideas and tips on map making -

Thanks to everyone - and especially those who are doing the GIMP.

I have an old version of Photoshop but I like the spirit and philosophy on the GIMP freeware...

I started role playing games in 79 when my cousin showed me his "chainmail" combat game and then the next year taught me adventure role playing...

Thanks again for putting together such a great site - and thanks to all who have contributed.

see you around
